Unfortunately I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

The [**Geocache Maintenance guideline**](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance) explains what needs to happen with a Disable cache.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article [**here**](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [**Bunjil**,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

geocache container has been removed by some low life

I joined up with Simsfamily and Neville Devil for an easy day along the Maribyrnong River and surrounding areas.
Unfortunately a DNF was all we located here plus a few prickles.

Despite a thorough search (with a previous finder), no luck here today.

I got to the bush and though, Nah... its just started to rain and i'm not prepared for the prickle nightmare. Brave are the people who have Found It!

I went to look for this. I found a large prickle bush with a foot trodden path to it and around it. There is an obvious area here where the cache would be but no cache. All I got was a prickle in my finger, despite wearing my rose-pruning gardening gloves. I will watch this cache.

Ditto to the other logs.
I really didn't want to go there as I was not appropriately dressed but there I went just to get a smiling face. On the walk back it had started to rain so by now I was quite wet.

Yup, previous geocachers were quite right about one aspect of this hide!

Note for the cache owner, perhaps - as I approached the hide location a couple of kids seemed startled and ran off. There are bits and pieces of foliage scattered about the general vicinity (obviously taken from the nearby bush/tree/weapon of mass destruction, whatever that thing is).

Upon inspection, I found the container completely intact and in good condition, although a bit of water has made its way in. I had no issue getting to GZ as a pretty clear path has been created, along with a bunch of foliage bits and pieces nearby.

TFTC DaKiwi - nice to find a decent sized cache so close to home.

This one has been on my "unfound closest to home" list for far too long now, so today I decided it was time to head out and find it. I love the work that the council have done with this whole area, so I enjoyed the walk in. Once at GZ I took a while to find the cache, that's an evil thorn bush you've found there! A quick sign of the logbook, then I took the long way back to the car over the hill. Thanks to DaKiwi for hiding this cache, cheers!

Looked like it was getting a bit dangerous as we got to approx 2 metres away.

Found after a visit to Poynton's Nursery. Dropped travel bug "Blue M&M on Tour"

Very prickely bush!

I had an hour to kill before I met up with the wife so I grabbed some caches in the area. Last find for the day, when I got to GZ the cache was quite exposed but them again I don't think people would be down here much, I could see where the cache was meant to be so I tried to place it in as far as I could. TFTC

Lovely spot.found it pretty quickly. Coordinates bang on. TFTC

Is not a 1.5 terrain. Be careful of the prickles!

We have allready found this just dropped a car surfboard trackable great cache ,next time don't put in brambles!

Highlight of the journey: Many Doggos.
Recommend: wear good shoes for steep slopes.

10/10 first geo found.

10:10

Great spot big hill and beware of the prickles!

My GPS was a bit crazy, but even then, I wouldn't be willing to go down that steep hill. Not 1.5 in terrain.

Cool find by a beautiful spot!

Found it. Great fun. Thanks.

Our first solo geocache. A bit wet underfoot to get there but not too hard!

Tftc Would probably give it a higher terrain rating than 1.5. Sorry but not a very nice location - slippery ground and has sharp trees that ripped our skin, shoes and clothes. Geo Hubby is very grumpy now and we are heading home!

Took along some trackables for a visit

Found this afternoon while on a wander with muggles son and girlfriend, think I might have some converts!! many thanks for the cache, we enjoyed finding this one and the views.

Pretty hard to find. Bushes were over grown.

Cool, a bit slippery on the day but all good. TFTC

Found while walking dog, who was not impressed by all the ants which were moving around a lot, signed log replaced as found, cache is all good, Thanks Da Kiwi

Good fun! Had to watch the steps carefully!!

Quite a walk to get to this one, but fun nevertheless. Found with Beecho, Sheyolivia, and nugget92 TFTC

Found it!

Found it with nugget92, RayRay22 and Beecho. TFTC

Tftc. No snakes biting me today

I feel so stupid. Walked past it twice and thought 'surely not' - tricky terrain but worth braving it. Got there in the end. TFTF -kazza1996

Went out for a few caches with diana8 and we decided to tackle the caches in this area.

This was harder than a T1.5. once one of us was brave to scramble down the embankment, the cache was quickly found without the need to get amongst the brambles... too much... TNLN TFTC.

TB visit

I was glad ClanMagee offered to go in and retrieve this one - not sure I would have got there and back quite so easily. Seems to be a bit higher than a T1.5 Still, once he got to GZ it wasn't long before I heard a 'found it'! TFTC

Took quite some time but did find it (warning prickly stuff)

Arrh - Lots of spikes, making getting to it a bit of an effort, but I manged it just.
Thanks DaKiwi - Good spot

Awesome, lots of prickly things, but persisted and found it thanks NinjaKiwi

New log book placed in geocache.

Watch out for the bramble! Great spot this!

Found it with the Kids - needs a new log book!!!

Thanks for placing this cache. We found it today. Logbook is full though

Nice Place to visit and go for a quite walk in the inner city. A prickly entrance above and the cache was found. Gave the log book a new zip lock bag. Thanks DaKiwi. TFTC.

No Blue Tongue out today but there was a Blue Wren

Found by Mary & David at 1245. Just one cache again today. Minding the grandkids, so M stayed home with the youngest and D brought the next one along for the adventure. Had to negotiate a somewhat slippery slope to reach GZ, then found the cache after a short search. Heading back to the car park, we came across a guardian Blue-tongue Lizard on the path. It wasn't moving too well, so watched it until it reached the safety of the bushes. Our thanks to DaKiwi.

What a stunning adventure this was today! Thanks for the experience

TFTC!

More than 1.5 terrain!

Nice off road hide. Spring has sprung and this location is beautiful!

Beware of snakes...?

Thanks!

TFTC. Fiance was afraid of creepy crawlies but we did it! Team Bickie FTW!

What does TFTC mean??

Easy to find

Found it a couple of weeks ago with some friends was a nice place to walk that I hadn't been to before tftc

I dropped off the kid at a party near Knifepoint and was determined to get some caches done before pickup time. I found this cluster of 3 not too far away so I drove along the river to find a car park. I have never explored this part of Melbourne before, it was a delight to see all the people walking and enjoying the stunning winter afternoon that Melbourne does so well. I parked in the bottom car park and entered the park. After I completed the other 2 close by, I walked back down the path near the river to find this cache. After evading a dad and kids on their bikes, I ducked down the hill and spotted the hiding spot - protected by some very prickly bushes! I clambered around the bottom thinking there must be an easier way in, and in fact I could see the container! In the end I braved the thorns, got a few scratches on my arms, and had to use a stick to push the container where I could reach it. No red panties in sight thank goodness, so I signed the log and re-hid the container. Good luck to the next finder!

Thank you

Yep

Ok so undies are missing... What ???

Wohoo!

Nice easy find... Not sure of the reason why the red lace underpants arw in the cache??

Cache number 400 for me and it was .... An adventure.

It's wet today and I found the clay soil very very slippery so after going AOT a couple of times and getting covered in clay-soil, I was relieved to glimpse the cache. Oh my what?!!! It's in the depths of what looked like a very prickly bush. There has to be an easier way to get this than commando crawling through a tunnel of prickles, right? Yes? Thankfully my initial planned route (you don't walk away from a milestone cache if it is in sight) was superseded by a better route in, but that meant going AOT one more time in the clay. I had more clay on me than a sculptor, who's gotten loved-up with a ghostly presence of her boyfriend in an intense pottery session. I needed clean, non-muddy pants - well lucky, lucky me - when I opened it up there was a rather frilly pair right there - I hung them on the bush for a pic and then realised the ones that I was wearing were cleaner so I gingerly returned them - sorry no plastic bag with me today and I'm not sticking other women's dirty knickers in my pocket. Anyhoo - thanks for the cache, and the anecdote, I'm off home to wash. A lot.

Found at night, bit spooby walking around at night, 2spooky4me. Found the cache and high tailed my bones out of there.

Ouch!

TFTC. Lovely walk. Nice easy find.

Found it and the knickers that were a surprise

Easy find. Never found knickers in cache before.

Tftc and the fresh panties

Found by caughtatwork at 15:33 on 28/03/2016
Ran into another geocacher at this location. Not quite sure this is a terrain 1.5 as we were well down the hill to get this one. Maybe a tweak up by a 0.5 might be a little more appropriate. Nevertheless a find was a find.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache experience here today.

Rated: for Overall Experience

My fiancé's first find with me! A pair of knickers in the box? Should I have removed them?

Good find the undies are still there

Visiting from Canada, took our neice and nephew out for the first time...the 7 year old found it with a hint from us.
Wish we had tennies on and not flip flops.

Took us a while to find this one. We thought "they wouldn't put it in there!" But they did! Props to whoever left women's underpants in there haha

On a bike ride up the Maribyrnong, stopped in for an easy find. Nicely hidden. Thanks for the cache DaKiwi!

First cache to draw blood

First find of the year

Spikey spikey tftc

Yuyyyyyy!

Thanks for an adorable first find!

Slippery when wet and prickly! Found this cache with Xavier! Great spot! TFTC!

Found cache after a nice Saturday afternoon walk in the park, nice view of the river too. Treacherous and potentially spiky for sure as noted by a previous cacher. TFTC!!!

Nice one slippery when wet! I hope my little treasures make someone's day a little lighter!

Still there and all intact!

Found it!

Found it! Should not have worn thongs...

We found it! Mel had no shoes on

Tftc

Riding from Southern Cross station to Sunbury today and stopped to grab this cache on the way. An easy find even though Mother Nature is a little prickly around this one. TFTC

Treacherous and potentially spiky! But a great little cache in a lovely spot. River and park were glorious today. Took one swap, left two. Tftc!

Ouch!!

The seats nearby are prime for resting muggles to watch you! Tough terrain even on a nice sunny day. Thanks for the cache

Out on a blustery Melbourne afternoon I didn't see anyone until I approached GZ. After wasting time looking occupied I made my way to the treasure. I may or may not have taken the invisible sled route. Ouch haha! Thanks for the cache. TNLNSL

Enjoying the day of caching with the grandkids. TFTC SL

Steep hill! My first geocache. Was about to give up. Best you wear runners. Prickly!

Had a rather interesting caching experience today...
After meeting up with a friend for lunch at the Boathouse, geokid 7 desperately wanted to do some caches without her brother. Headed up the river a little way to do Simon&Garfunkel & then River Dayz.
Found the well camouflaged cache by SamCarter & then it was down towards the river to find this one.
"What's that noise mum?"
"Nothing Ames, just animals"
Well this area isn't known for koalas & wild pigs so I knew darn well exactly what that noise was! And someone was having a mighty fine time
So as we continue our scramble down the hill, I'm expecting to spot someone having a sneaky bit of fun. Nothing sneaky about these two... there they were, not very well hidden to my right, completely starkers!! Top to toe, not an item of clothing in sight!
I can save 'the talk' for a little while yet, as I managed to move Miss 7 along before she could spot them!
As for the cache, we thought we were going to have to risk those massive thorns, but the cache was spotted & able to be reached. TFTC

Bit of a hike!
